Can a formula place a value in another cell
 

Functions called from cells on worksheets can only return values to that cell
(with very minor exceptions).

You may want to look at worksheet/workbook/application events that will touch
other cells.

hi
no. a formula can only return values to the cell in which it resides. it can
not put values in other cells nor can it perform actions. only macro code can
do this.
sorry.

A formula may not do that but you can use =a1 to get the data in a1.
However, you may use a worksheet_change event macro in the sheet module that
when a1 is changed will do whatever is desired to the other cell.

Since my workbook is formula driven based on one cell on one worksheet and
the value I need to change resides on another worksheet, what event would be
better to use. This one cell changes the data on 12 worksheets.
